I don't need to claim I spoke to him, the quotes are from a published interview, as linked to, which everyone can read for themselves.
Have you read it yet?
 
Was it good??
Yes. Delicious. And not too sweet, either. You wash the spices off at the end of the curing, so very little has actually penetrated the meat.

My lovely butcher had sliced the bacon slab (belly pork) into roasting slices, thinking he was being helpful, instead of leaving it as one huge slab. So the curing spices slightly overcured it (I would cure it for a shorter time next time). But I just soaked the bacon for a while before cooking, which sorted it right out. Much nicer than any bought bacon. And cheaper too.
 
I have made this.....try including a sprig or two of rosemary (the herb, not West!) Into the curing mixture......sublime!
 
Totally agree ! For years before discovering low carb also felt a bit guilty about the fry up breakfast. Now I THRIVE on them.
